Financial Crimes Analyst (Temporary)

Where it all began… In 1951 SF Fire Credit Union first opened its doors from a modest 10′ × 15′ office space in 17 Engine. It was from those humble beginnings—where everyone pitched in to help one another in their community—that the organization forged its way of business forever. Today, the San Francisco-based credit union has grown to $1.7B in assets and a membership that extends from the regional firefighters we trace our roots back to throughout our many neighbors in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties. Our members benefit from the ideas and principles that have shaped us: Shared trust, continuous innovation of products and services, competitive rates, and excellent member service. These qualities foster a true sense of member-ownership and strengthen the credit union’s bond with the people for whom this credit union was created. What we stand for… There are a few things we look for those we hire at SF Fire Credit Union, regardless of role or team. First, do they align with our values? Be Personal – Walk the Member/Employee Path. Be a Leader – Empower, Collaborate, Own. Be Outside the Box – Innovate, Educate, Engage. Be Real – Integrity and Transparency Matter. Be the Connection – Serve our Community. Second, will they thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and desire to innovate? Finally, do they share our vision to help empower members to accomplish their dreams and build lasting financial security in whatever way is most relevant to their role. What it feels like… Most days it feels more like going to work with a big family. Whether it’s a pot luck lunch, baking birthday cakes for colleagues in the kitchen, or after-hours get together, we’re here to do a great job and have a good time while doing it! We value a good sense of humor, are motivated by a higher purpose, and always bring an in-this-together attitude. While we’re driven to do great work, we also value real work/life balance.
